Installed my Perrin rear swaybar just now...



Not sure what I think so far. Initial test drive indicated more snap oversteer and a tendency to engage the VSC much sooner than before. Going to test it out a couple weeks at the local Autox to see how everything does.

I love the look of your BRZ. Simple and Clean. The wheels are a perfect contrast to the dark blue color. Great job!!!

Do you do all the detail work yourself? Car looks fantastic! Reason I ask is that I really need to do a little detail. My car came from the dealership with racing stripes lol and I had to remove the good with vinyl removal liquid but it left some swirls that I don't like looking it. What would you suggest? I have a clay bar but I don't own any polishing stuff

Not my thread, but you would not use a clay bar to remove swirls or scratches. Clay bar removes contaminants from the clear coat/paint. Removing swirls, scratches and surface imperfections requires some type of "light" abrasive like a swirl/scratch remover. It can be done by hand. I use a Porter Cable random orbit buffer to spare my aging arms.
